Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

MERGEPORT is a verified, functional B2B middleware connecting POS systems to delivery platforms (Wolt, Lieferando), solving a genuine fragmentation problem for restaurants. However, the submission quality was extremely poor, relying on hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product') rather than verifiable metrics. External search confirms the business exists with valid integrations in the DACH region, justifying a score in the 'Small but promising' range despite the lack of direct data provided.
